Opus One Napa Valley Red 2022

A true symbol of Napa Valley excellence, Opus One Napa Valley Red 2022 represents the seamless harmony between old-world tradition and new-world innovation. Co-founded by Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild and Robert Mondavi, Opus One continues to embody their shared vision: crafting a single, extraordinary wine that captures the essence of its vintage and its land.

The 2022 vintage reflects the precision and poise of a near-perfect Napa growing season. A blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with subtle additions of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec, it showcases remarkable depth and refinement. In the glass, it reveals a dark garnet hue with aromas of black cherry, cassis, graphite, and violets, layered with cedar, espresso, and fine oak.

On the palate, Opus One 2022 is silky yet powerful, unfolding with notes of ripe blackberry, plum, cocoa, and savory spice framed by polished tannins and vibrant acidity. The texture is luxurious — balanced, elegant, and persistent — leading to a long, graceful finish that echoes its noble Bordeaux lineage while remaining unmistakably Napa in character.

Aged in new French oak barrels to enhance structure and nuance, this wine exemplifies meticulous craftsmanship from vineyard to bottle. Each parcel of fruit from the estate’s famed Oakville vineyards is fermented and aged separately before blending, ensuring only the finest lots contribute to the final cuvée. The result is a wine of profound complexity and aging potential, built to evolve beautifully over the next several decades.

Perfect for cellaring or immediate enjoyment, Opus One 2022 pairs effortlessly with prime beef, lamb, truffle-infused dishes, or aged cheeses. It is more than a wine — it is a statement of artistry, heritage, and timeless beauty, expressing the best of Napa’s terroir and the enduring spirit of its founders.
